Bowel Gangrene Associated with Jejunal Diverticulosis: A Rare Case Report

Abstract

A thirty-years young male presented with pain in the whole of the abdomen with intermittent vomiting and inability to pass flatus and faeces for the last four days. The patient was presented with an infrequent complication of gangrene formation in the bowel due to multiple jejunal diverticulae with acute intestinal obstruction and subsequent short bowel syndrome due to massive resection of the small bowel.The first case to be reported, to the extent of our knowledge. The management in our case involved complete resection of the gangrenous bowel, followed by the formation of jejuno-ascending stoma, which after a few days was followed by the setting up of a jejuno-colic anastomosis.
